No One Wanted This Aggressive Bull... Until a Lost Girl Gave It a Name...
NEW YORK STORIES
0:00 The auction yard in rural Texas buzzed
0:02 with nervous energy as ranchers kept their distance
0:05 from pen number seven where a massive black
0:08 bull paced back and forth like a cage storm.
0:11 At 2,800 lb of pure muscle and fury,
0:15 the unnamed beast had already sent three handlers to the hospital
0:19 and destroyed two steel gates in the past week alone.
0:22 That animal's got the devil in him, muttered Wade Harrison,
0:26 a veteran livestock dealer who had seen every
0:29 kind of temperament in his 40 years of business.
0:32 Been through six different ranches in 2 years.
0:35 Nobody can handle him.
0:37 He's headed straight for the slaughterhouse after this auction.
0:41 The bull's dark eyes burned with rage and fear
0:44 as he slammed his massive frame against the reinforced barriers.
0:48 His black coat was scarred from countless confrontations,
0:51 and his horns bore the marks of desperate
0:53 attempts to break free from whatever confined him.
0:57 Every movement radiated hostility toward the humans
1:00 who had failed to understand him.
1:02 Auctioneer Bob Martinez had been dreading this moment all morning.
1:07 Ladies and gentlemen, we have lot number seven,
1:09 a three-year-old Angus bull, approximately 2,800 lb.
1:15 Now, I'll be honest with you folks.
1:17 This animal has some behavioral challenges.
1:20 Starting bid is $500.
1:22 The silence that followed was deafening.
1:25 Experienced ranchers who would normally compete fiercely for prime
1:28 breeding stock suddenly found their boots very interesting to study.
1:32 The bull's reputation had spread throughout the region like wildfire.
1:36 And nobody wanted the liability of owning an animal
1:39 that seemed determined to destroy everything in its path.
1:42 Do I hear 500?
1:44 How about 300?
1:45 200?
1:46 Bob's voice grew increasingly desperate as the seconds ticked by.
1:51 Folks, this is quality breeding stock if someone can work with his temperament.
1:55 From the back of the crowd, ranch owner Samuel McKenzie finally raised his hand.
2:00 $100, he called out, his voice carrying more resignation than enthusiasm.
2:05 Sam owned a sprawling ranch outside Austin
2:07 and had a reputation for taking on difficult animals.
2:11 But even he seemed uncertain about this decision.
2:14 Sold to Sam McKenzie for $100, Bob announced with obvious relief.
2:19 Sam, you know the conditions.
2:21 We're not responsible for any damages or injuries after he leaves this facility.
2:25 As the paperwork was completed,
2:27 Sam approached the pen to get a closer look at his new acquisition.
2:31 The bull immediately charged toward the barrier,
2:33 his hooves thundering against the concrete as he slammed into the steel
2:37 bars with enough force to make the entire structure shake.
2:40 Easy there, big fella," Sam said quietly, though he maintained a safe distance.
2:46 "I don't know what happened to make you so angry.
2:48 But maybe we can figure out a way to coexist."
2:51 The bull's only response was another violent charge at the fence,
2:55 his eyes never leaving Sam's face.
2:57 It was clear that trust would not come easily, if at all.
3:02 Dr.
3:02 Rebecca Chen, the veterinarian who had examined the bull before the auction,
3:07 approached Sam with her clipboard.
3:09 I've got to be honest with you, Sam.
3:11 His physical health is perfect.
3:13 He's actually one of the finest specimens I've seen.
3:17 But psychologically, he's been traumatized.
3:20 Previous owners used aggressive handling methods, kept him isolated,
3:24 treated him like a machine instead of a living being.
3:28 "What are his chances?" Sam asked,
3:30 watching as the bull continued his relentless pacing.
3:34 "With traditional methods?" "Probably zero," Dr.
3:38 Chen admitted.
3:38 But if someone could find a way to reach him,
3:41 to show him that not all humans are threats.
3:43 Well, miracles have happened before.
3:46 As evening fell and the auction yard emptied, the bull remained in his pen,
3:51 awaiting transport to yet another ranch,
3:53 where he would likely face the same cycle of fear,
3:56 aggression, and eventual rejection.
3:58 His story seemed destined for a tragic end,
4:01 another problem animal that nobody could solve.
4:04 But sometimes fate has other plans.
4:07 And sometimes the most broken souls find healing in the most unexpected places.
4:12 What do you think could possibly change this angry bull's fate?
4:16 Have you ever seen an aggressive animal transform when shown genuine kindness?
4:20 3 weeks after arriving at the McKenzie ranch, the Nameless Bull had lived up
4:24 to his terrible reputation by destroying two feeding stations,
4:28 breaking through three different enclosures,
4:30 and forcing Sam to keep him in the most remote pasture on the property.
4:34 "The ranch hands had nicknamed him destroyer,
4:37 and refused to work anywhere near his area without backup." "I'm starting
4:42 to think I made a mistake," Sam confided to his wife Martha over breakfast.
4:46 "That bull's more dangerous than I realized.
4:49 Maybe it's time to cut our losses before someone gets seriously hurt.
4:53 Martha nodded grimly.
4:55 The insurance company called yesterday.
4:57 They want him gone within the month or they'll drop our coverage entirely.
5:01 I hate to say it, but maybe some animals just can't be saved.
5:05 What they didn't know was that their decision about the bull's
5:08 fate was about to be influenced by an entirely unexpected factor.
5:12 That same morning, 12-year-old Luna Ramirez had wandered away
5:16 from a family camping trip in the nearby state park,
5:19 becoming hopelessly lost in the dense
5:21 Texas brush that bordered the McKenzie property.
5:24 Luna had been following what she thought was a trail back
5:27 to their campsite when she became turned around in the thick vegetation.
5:31 Hours of walking in circles had left her exhausted,
5:34 scared, and completely disoriented.
5:37 As the afternoon sun beat down mercilessly,
5:40 she stumbled through a broken section of fence onto
5:43 the McKenzie ranch without realizing she had entered private property.
5:47 The bull was grazing in the far corner of his isolated pasture when
5:51 he first caught sight of the small human figure stumbling through his territory.
5:56 His immediate instinct was to charge,
5:58 to drive away this intruder as he had driven away all the others.
6:02 But something about this human was different.
6:05 Unlike the ranch hands who approached with ropes and aggressive postures,
6:09 this small figure moved with exhaustion rather than threat.
6:13 There was no livestock prod, no shouting, no attempt to corner or control him.
6:18 The young girl simply collapsed under a large
6:20 oak tree at the edge of his pasture, clearly overwhelmed by heat and fear.

7:10 Luna sat with her back against the tree trunk,
7:12 tears streaming down her face as she realized how truly lost she was.
7:16 I just want to go home, she whispered to herself,
7:19 pulling her knees up to her chest.
7:22 Why can't I find my way back?
7:24 The bull stood motionless about 50 yards away, studying the strange situation.
7:29 In all his encounters with humans,
7:31 none had ever shown vulnerability in his presence.
7:34 They had always been the aggressors,
7:36 the controllers, the sources of pain and confinement.
7:40 But this small person seemed as lost and frightened as he often felt.
7:45 Slowly, cautiously, the bull began to move closer.
7:49 His massive hooves made soft sounds in the grass as he approached,
7:53 but Luna was too exhausted and upset to notice.
7:56 When she finally looked up and saw
7:58 the enormous black shape standing just 20 ft away,
8:01 her breath caught in her throat.
8:02 "Oh," she said softly, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.
8:06 "Hello there, big guy.
8:08 I'm sorry I'm in your space.
8:10 I'm just I'm really lost." The bull had never heard
8:14 a human speak to him without anger or fear in their voice.
8:17 Luna's tone was gentle, respectful, almost conversational.
8:21 She made no move to stand, showed no signs of aggression,
8:25 and seemed genuinely apologetic for disturbing him.
8:29 "You're really beautiful," Luna continued,
8:31 her natural love of animals overriding her fear.
8:34 "I bet you have a name, but I don't know what it is.
8:38 You look like you might be sad, though.
8:41 Are you sad, too?
8:43 Something in the bull's chest seemed to loosen at her words.
8:46 For the first time in his life,
8:48 a human was talking to him like he was a thinking,
8:51 feeling being rather than just a dangerous obstacle to be managed.
8:55 I think I'll call you Shadow, Luna said, studying his dark coat and the way he
8:59 seemed to emerge from the shade of the trees.
9:02 Is that okay with you, Shadow?
9:04 You don't have to like it, but it seems to fit.
9:07 The bull, now shadow, tilted his massive head slightly,
9:11 as if considering this gift of identity.
9:14 No one had ever bothered to give him a proper name before.
9:17 He had always been the bull, that animal,
9:21 or various angry epithets shouted by frustrated handlers.
9:25 As the sun began to set,
9:27 Luna curled up under the tree, using her backpack as a pillow.
9:31 I guess I'm spending the night here, Shadow.
9:34 My family must be so worried.
9:35 I hope they find me tomorrow.
9:38 Shadow remained nearby, positioned between Luna and the fence line,
9:42 almost as if he was standing guard over this small,
9:45 vulnerable human who had shown him the first kindness he had ever known.
9:49 Do you think Shadow's protective instincts are awakening?
9:52 What would you do if you found a lost child in such an unlikely situation?
9:56 Dawn broke over the McKenzie ranch with an urgency
9:59 that matched the search helicopter circling overhead.
10:03 Luna had been missing for over 18 hours,
10:05 and her frantic family had mobilized every available resource to find her.
10:10 Park rangers, local police, and dozens of volunteers were combing the area,
10:15 but none of them thought to search the remote corners of private ranch land.
10:20 Shadow had remained near Luna throughout the night,
10:22 his massive presence providing an unexpected
10:25 sense of security for the sleeping child.
10:28 When she stirred as the morning sun filtered through the oak leaves,
10:31 she was amazed to find the enormous bull still there,
10:34 standing quietly about 15 ft away, as if he had been watching over her.
10:39 "Good morning, Shadow," Luna said softly, sitting up and stretching.
10:44 "Thank you for staying with me.
10:46 I was scared last night, but somehow knowing you were there made me feel safer."
10:50 The bull's ears pricricked forward at the sound of his name,
10:54 the first name anyone had ever given him.
10:57 There was something profound about being recognized
10:59 as an individual rather than just a dangerous obstacle.
11:03 And Shadow found himself drawn to this small
11:05 human who treated him with such unexpected respect.
11:09 Luna was getting hungry and thirsty, but more importantly,
11:12 she knew her family must be terrified about her disappearance.
11:16 I need to find my way home, Shadow.
11:18 My mom and dad are probably so worried they can't sleep.
11:21 Do you know how to get out of here?
11:23 As if understanding her dilemma,
11:25 Shadow began walking slowly toward the fence line,
11:28 pausing to look back at Luna with what seemed like an invitation to follow.
11:33 Luna gathered her backpack and walked alongside the massive bull,
11:37 maintaining a respectful distance,
11:38 but trusting his apparent willingness to help.
11:41 Ranch hand Carlos Mendoza was checking fence lines in his pickup
11:45 truck when he spotted the impossible sight through his binoculars.
11:49 the most dangerous bull on the property
11:51 walking calmly alongside a small girl who
11:53 seemed completely unafraid of the 2,800-lb animal
11:57 that had terrorized every adult who encountered him.
12:00 "Holy mother of God," Carlos whispered, grabbing his radio.
12:03 "Sam, you need to get out to the north pasture right now.
12:07 That killer bull is with a little girl,
12:09 and they're walking together like old friends." Sam
12:12 McKenzie's response crackled through the radio with disbelief.
12:15 Carlos, that's impossible.
12:18 Nobody can get near that bull without him going crazy.
12:21 Are you sure you're seeing what you think you're seeing?
12:25 Boss, I'm looking at it right now and I still don't believe it.
12:29 This girl is maybe 12 years old and she's talking to him like he's a pet dog.
12:33 The bull's not showing any aggression at all.
12:35 He's actually acting protective of her.
12:38 Within 20 minutes, Sam and Martha arrived at the scene along with Dr.
12:42 Chen, who happened to be on the ranch checking on other livestock.
12:46 What they witnessed challenged everything they thought they knew about animal
12:49 behavior and the supposedly irredeemable bull they had been planning to sell.
12:54 Luna was sitting in the shade while Shadow stood nearby.
12:58 His massive body positioned between her and the approaching vehicles.
13:02 When the adults climbed out of their trucks,
13:04 the bull's demeanor immediately shifted to high alert,
13:07 but he didn't charge or show his usual aggressive behavior.
13:10 Instead, he moved closer to Luna,
13:12 clearly indicating that he considered her under his protection.
13:16 "Luna," Martha called out, recognizing the missing child from the Amber
13:21 Alert that had been broadcast throughout the region.
13:23 "Honey, are you okay?
13:25 Your family has been looking everywhere for you." "I'm fine," Luna replied,
13:29 standing up but staying close to Shadow.
13:31 "Shadow took care of me all night.
13:33 He's not mean like everyone says.
13:35 He's just lonely and scared.
13:37 People haven't been nice to him before.
13:40 Dr.
13:40 Chen observed the interaction with professional fascination.
13:43 "This is extraordinary," she murmured to Sam.
13:46 "The bull's entire body language has changed.
13:48 He's calm, protective, almost gentle.
13:51 It's like he's become a completely different animal.
13:54 The sound of approaching helicopters indicated
13:57 that the search and rescue operation was intensifying.
14:00 Luna's parents would be reunited with their daughter soon,
14:04 but the question remained, what would happen to Shadow now that he
14:07 had revealed his capacity for gentleness and protection?
14:12 "We can't separate them abruptly," Dr.
14:14 Chen advised.
14:15 "The bull has formed an attachment to the child,
14:17 and forcing a sudden separation could trigger a dangerous reaction.
14:21 We need to handle this very carefully." "Luna seemed to understand
14:25 the complexity of the situation." "Shadow saved me," she told the adults.
14:30 When I was scared and lost, he stayed with me and made sure I was safe.
14:34 He deserves to be loved, not sent away to be hurt again.
14:38 The transformation in Shadow was undeniable.
14:42 The raging, uncontrollable beast that had terrorized ranch hands for weeks,
14:46 was now standing calmly,
14:48 his aggressive nature replaced by protective gentleness toward
14:51 the one human who had shown him kindness and respect.
14:55 Have you ever witnessed an animal's personality
14:58 completely change when they found the right person?
15:01 What do you think Luna's family will say when
15:04 they discover their daughter was protected by a dangerous bull?
15:08 The reunion between Luna and her parents,
15:11 Maria and Diego Ramirez, was emotional beyond words.
15:14 But their joy quickly turned to concern when
15:17 they learned about the circumstances of their daughter's survival.
15:21 The idea that she had spent the night
15:22 with a bull known for his aggression seemed impossible to comprehend.
15:26 "You're telling me that this dangerous
15:28 animal protected our daughter?" Maria asked Dr.
15:31 Chen, her voice trembling with a mixture of gratitude and disbelief.
15:35 "The same bull that has injured multiple handlers
15:38 and destroyed property." "I know it sounds incredible," Dr.
15:41 Chen replied, but we've all witnessed it firsthand.
15:45 Your daughter has somehow reached this animal in a way
15:47 that no one else has been able to.
15:50 The transformation in his behavior is unlike anything
15:53 I've seen in 20 years of veterinary practice.
15:56 Diego watched through the fence as Luna sat peacefully next to Shadow.
16:00 The massive bull remaining calm and gentle in her presence.
16:04 She's always been special with animals, he admitted.
16:07 Dogs, cats, even wild birds seem to trust her instantly.
16:11 But this this is something else entirely.
16:15 Sam McKenzie found himself facing an impossible decision.
16:19 The insurance company had given him an ultimatum about the bull,
16:22 but seeing Shadow's protective behavior toward
16:25 Luna made the thought of sending him
16:27 to slaughter feel like condemning an innocent
16:29 being who had finally found his purpose.
16:31 "What if we could find a way to keep him?" Sam asked his wife Martha.
16:35 "I know it sounds crazy,
16:37 but maybe this bull just needed someone to believe in him."
16:41 Luna saw something in him that the rest of us missed.
16:44 Martha looked at the peaceful scene unfolding
16:46 in the pasture and felt her heart soften.
16:49 The insurance issue is still a problem, but maybe Dr.
16:52 Chen could help us document his behavioral change
16:55 if we can prove he's no longer a threat.
16:58 Dr.
16:58 Chen was already thinking along the same lines.
17:01 I'd like to propose a supervised interaction program.
17:04 If Shadow continues to show this gentle behavior with Luna present,
17:08 we might be able to work with animal behaviorists
17:10 to understand what triggered this transformation and whether it's permanent.
17:14 Luna's parents faced their own difficult choice.
17:17 Their daughter had formed an obvious attachment
17:19 to the bull who had protected her.
17:21 But allowing her to continue interacting with such
17:23 a large animal carried inherent risks despite his apparent gentleness.
17:28 Shadow isn't dangerous, Luna insisted when her parents expressed their concerns.
17:32 He's just been hurt and scared for so long that he forgot how to trust people.
17:37 But when someone is kind to him, really kind, he remembers how to be gentle.
17:42 The conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Doctor Jonathan Hayes,
17:47 a renowned animal behaviorist who had driven down
17:49 from Austin after hearing about the extraordinary situation.
17:53 His reputation for working with traumatized animals,
17:56 made his opinion crucial for Shadow's future.
17:59 I've studied the reports and witnessed the interactions myself.
18:03 Doctor Hayes announced after spending several
18:06 hours observing Shadow and Luna together.
18:08 This bull has undergone what we call positive
18:11 behavioral reconditioning triggered by finding the right emotional catalyst.
18:16 The child represents safety, acceptance, and kindness.
18:20 Everything his previous experiences lacked.
18:23 The weight of the decision fell heavily on everyone involved.
18:26 Shadow's life hung in the balance,
18:28 dependent on whether the adults could overcome their fear of his past
18:32 behavior and trust in the transformation that Luna had inspired.
18:36 "What would happen if we separated them?" Maria asked Dr.
18:40 Hayes, dreading the answer.
18:42 "Potentially catastrophic regression," he replied honestly.
18:46 "The bull has formed what appears to be a profound emotional bond.
18:50 Severing that connection abruptly could trigger
18:53 not just a return to aggressive behavior,
18:56 but possibly worse, complete psychological breakdown.
19:00 Luna listen to the adult conversation with the wisdom
19:03 that sometimes emerges in children facing serious situations.
19:07 Shadow needs me, she said simply.
19:09 And I think maybe I need him, too.
19:12 He taught me that being gentle is stronger than being angry,
19:15 and that everyone deserves a chance to show their good side.
19:18 Diego and Maria exchanged a look that communicated the weight of parenthood,
19:23 the constant balance between protecting their child and allowing
19:27 her to follow her heart when it led towards something meaningful.
19:30 If we agree to this, Diego said carefully,
19:33 there would have to be strict safety protocols,
19:36 constant supervision, and regular behavioral assessments.
19:39 We won't risk our daughter's safety,
19:41 no matter how gentle this bull appears to be.
19:44 Sam McKenzie nodded emphatically.
19:47 Absolutely.
19:47 We'll modify facilities, hire additional safety personnel, whatever it takes.
19:53 This bull has shown us something extraordinary,
19:56 and I think we owe it to both him and Luna to explore what's possible.
20:00 The decision was made with a mixture of hope
20:02 and careful planning that would change not just Shadow's fate,
20:06 but the lives of everyone who
20:08 witnessed his remarkable transformation from an unwanted,
20:12 aggressive animal into a gentle giant
20:14 with the capacity for profound emotional connection.
20:18 Would you trust your child with an animal that had such a violent history?
20:23 Do you believe some connections between
20:25 humans and animals transcend our understanding?
20:28 No one wanted this aggressive bull until a lost girl gave it a name.
20:34 6 months after Luna gave Shadow his name,
20:36 the McKenzie Ranch had become a place of wonder
20:39 where visitors came from across the country to witness
20:42 the extraordinary relationship between a 12-year-old girl
20:45 and the bull who had found redemption through her kindness.
20:48 What had started as an emergency rescue situation had evolved
20:52 into something that challenged conventional
20:54 understanding of animal behavior and healing.
20:57 Shadow had been transformed from the destroyer that no
21:00 one wanted into a gentle giant who served
21:03 as living proof that even the most damaged souls
21:06 could find peace when shown genuine love and respect.
21:09 The insurance company, initially skeptical, had not only reinstated coverage,
21:14 but began using Shadow's story in their promotional
21:17 materials about second chances and proper animal care.
21:20 Luna visited the ranch every weekend and during
21:23 school holidays with her parents having worked out
21:26 a detailed arrangement with the McKenzis that prioritized safety
21:30 while honoring the remarkable bond their daughter had formed.
21:33 The strict protocols had gradually relaxed
21:35 as Shadow consistently demonstrated his protective,
21:39 gentle nature in Luna's presence.
21:41 "It's like watching a different animal entirely," marveled Dr.
21:44 Hayes during one of his regular behavioral assessments.
21:48 Shadow's transformation isn't just temporary conditioning.
21:51 It's a fundamental shift in his neural pathways.
21:54 Luna's kindness literally rewired his brain's response to humans.
21:58 The ranch had installed special viewing areas where families could
22:02 safely observe Shadow and Luna's
22:04 interactions while learning about animal psychology,
22:07 trauma recovery, and the healing power of trust.
22:10 Local schools organized field trips to witness this living example of how
22:15 patience and understanding could overcome
22:17 even the most challenging behavioral problems.
22:20 Shadow had grown even larger over the months, now weighing close to 3,000 lb.
22:26 But his size only made his gentleness more remarkable.
22:29 He would lower his massive head for Luna to pet,
22:32 follow her around the pasture like an enormous puppy,
22:35 and position himself protectively whenever strangers approached.
22:39 Shadow taught me that angry isn't the same as bad.
22:42 Luna explained to a group of visiting students.
22:45 He was angry because people hurt him and didn't understand him.
22:48 But underneath all that anger was just a scared animal who wanted to be loved.
22:53 When I gave him a name and talked to him like he mattered,
22:55 he remembered how to be good.
22:57 The Ramirez family had initially worried
22:59 about Luna becoming too attached to Shadow,
23:02 but they came to understand that the relationship
23:04 was teaching their daughter profound lessons about empathy,
23:07 responsibility, and the courage required to see past surface
23:11 appearances to the heart of a being in pain.
23:14 Dr.
23:15 Chen had documented Shadow's transformation in medical journals,
23:18 contributing to new research about animal trauma recovery
23:21 and the therapeutic potential of human animal bonds.
23:25 This case has changed how we
23:26 approach behavioral rehabilitation in large animals,
23:29 she explained to veterinary students.
23:31 It proves that emotional healing can
23:33 be more effective than dominance-based training methods.
23:36 Sam and Martha McKenzie had never intended to become pioneers in animal therapy,
23:41 but Shadow's story had given their ranch a new purpose.
23:44 They began accepting other difficult animals
23:47 that other facilities had given up on.
23:50 Using Luna and Shadow success as a model
23:52 for rehabilitation through patience and understanding,
23:56 "We learned that sometimes the most broken animals just need someone to believe
24:00 in their capacity for goodness," Sam told
24:02 reporters during an interview about their innovative approaches.
24:05 "Luna saw Shadow's potential when the rest of us only saw his problems.
24:10 The bull who had once been destined for slaughter
24:13 had become an ambassador for the transformative power of compassion.
24:17 Children who visited the ranch often overcame their own fears
24:20 by watching Luna's fearless interaction with such a massive animal.
24:25 Learning that size and appearance don't determine character.
24:28 Luna's parents had initially agreed to the arrangement reluctantly,
24:32 but watching their daughter's confidence and wisdom grow through
24:35 her relationship with Shadow convinced them that some experiences,
24:39 despite their risks, were too valuable to deny.
24:43 "Luna has learned things from Shadow that we
24:45 could never teach her in a classroom," Maria reflected.
24:48 She understands that healing takes time, that trust must be earned,
24:52 and that everyone deserves a chance to show
24:54 their best self when treated with dignity and respect.
24:58 As Luna approached her 13th birthday,
25:01 her bond with Shadow remained as strong as ever.
25:03 The bull, who had once been unwanted, had found not just a home,
25:07 but a purpose, serving as living proof that love could triumph over fear,
25:12 that patience could overcome aggression,
25:15 and that sometimes the most profound healing
25:17 happens when broken souls find each other.
25:20 Their story had spread far beyond the Texas ranch where it began,
25:24 inspiring animal welfare reforms, changing rehabilitation protocols,
25:29 and reminding people everywhere that extraordinary connections can emerge
25:33 when we choose to see potential instead of problems, hope instead of fear,
25:38 and the possibility for redemption in even the most unlikely places.
25:43 Shadow and Luna had proven that sometimes
25:45 the greatest transformations happen not through force or dominance,
25:49 but through the simple power of a child's open heart
25:52 and the willingness to give something dangerous a gentle name.
